Hey everyone
I'm a non-technical founder trying to understand a problem before building anything
I keep hearing developers say they spend more time dealing with tech debt, flaky tests, broken onboarding, and tooling issues than actually shipping features - which leads to burnout and slow delivery.
I want to sanity-check this with real developers:
What wastes most of vour time day-to-day ?
Is tech debt / tooling friction really a big problem, or is something else worse?
If you could magically fix one thing in your dev workflow, what would it be?
I'm not selling anything or promoting a product - just trying ta understand the problem honestly
Thanks for your time.
Saurabh.
